I don’t sell HEPA/UVC/CO2 monitors or masks. I’d be just as happy with natural ventilation if you can do it as it is cheap and environmentally friendly.
I don’t have any plans to do so either… if I did, I would let you know…
I don’t get paid for tweeting (wow would I be rich!). I have nowhere and nothing for you all to subscribe to.
I only made one video on YouTube and I’m going to take it down because it’s getting out of date…
95 thousand tweets people. Mostly about not stuffing up your health with SARS-CoV-2.
I’m going to celebrate the 100 thousandth tweet with a day off.
Personally, I would say I have some risk factors for a bad COVID outcome and of course I have some family that are vulnerable… but I think we are all a little vulnerable to COVID-19, and have someone we know that would not do well…
and it’s not like I don’t have the agency and means to optimise my chances… so it’s not that really either…
It goes against the grain of my training… watching all this reckless damage to public health.
It’s sad. It’s very sad to watch what is happening to people around me.
It also irritates me that I have all this knowledge and equipment… but many, many people don’t… and they should…
It shouldn’t be me, on here, every day, advocating for protections. I’m stuck doing a shadow version of a job that is meant to be done by people with far more visibility and authority than me…

I don’t think it’s possible to determine what the effect of reducing isolation from 5 days to none is yet.
Can we use hospitalisations and deaths to determine the difference having no isolation made.
Yes, but you have to wait many weeks before drawing conclusions.
Why?
We know from previous studies that COVID outbreaks start in young mobile populations. It takes many weeks to break into sheltering populations, and then there is a further delay as we wait for death… then record it.
It’s very good seeing WHO, Whitehouse director, some Australian CHOs and others discussing COVID-19 being airborne. So that took about 2-3 years to slowly be accepted. Thanks to everyone that has been working on this from the start. @covidisairborne
Next big hurdles… accepting that COVID-19 needs to be prevented.
I anticipate this will take anything from 5-50 years… depending on how well the misinformation controls the narrative and how well we can support each other to do the work. ->
The longer estimate is in there because there is a small risk of running out of resources/finances which means that we may not be able to do things even after we realise we must do them.
Hazard lights on, pulls out without indicating… enters right lane. Swaps to left lane and indicates after changing lanes. Then immediately swaps back to right lane. Slows down in middle of road for no discernible reason. I slowly pass the bus.
Driver looking completely confused and lost.
I’m assuming he got dumped last minute with an unfamiliar route… but maybe he is just confused.
Bus gathers speed again and passes me, enters roundabout in wrong lane for bus station. Crosses lanes awkwardly and enters bus station.
Some of the omicron strains are so far antigenicly removed from the original strain that they bear as much resemblance and SARS1 would according to some scientists.
“The G gene phylogeny did not reveal distinct lineages of RSV strains during COVID-19. The RSV strains before and during COVID-19 derived in our study were genetically close to the reference strains observed during 2018 to 2019.”
“RSV-positive children during COVID-19 showed a higher rate of jaundice, but lower rates of rhinorrhea, cough, tachypnea, and respiratory failure than in the previous RSV season.”
